Favorable

I haven’t shared too much of my DIY stuff with you, but I thought last night’s project was worth sharing.

Michael’s grandmother came over last night to help me assemble our favors — leaf-shaped maple sugar candies. At first I asked her just to give her a project to do, since she had been asking to help for so long. But in the end, I’m so glad she came over, because even with two people this took two hours!

Two packages of baggies, one hole punch, a spool of ribbon, favor tags and 22 boxes (11 pounds) of maple sugar leaves.

Which resulted in 133 baggies in a box…

…and on the table when the box got full.

It was a lot of work, but oh, do I love them. (That stain on the table is from me at a very young age. It’s ink. Sorry, mom.)

I ran out ribbon with 12 to go so it looks like I’m running errands during the day. Which is fine because I need new textured stockings for the rehearsal dinner, now that it’s FREEZING.

I hate this weather! I have no idea what to pack! Last weekend we both packed all short sleeve stuff for the wedding since it has been in the high 60s and 70s…then we got to Ocean City and the temp dropped into the 50s! Yikes! However, I miss New England and can’t wait to see my favorite place in Autumn…oh and my other half who is getting married 🙂 MoElle in T-2 days!

That’s a really sweet idea. Who doesn’t love maple candy?!
I haven’t really commented all that much, but I’ve been reading your blog for a while and in spite of never having even met you-I am so excited for you about your wedding! Your excitement is contagious!

that was such a cute idea! a wedding I went to this summer gave out maple syrup in heart shaped glasses sealed with ink. (they boil their own syrup) I thought I wanted a spring wedding… but fall may be the way to go…

That is such a great favor. It’s simple and looks delicious! I always hated getting favors from weddings that were glasses or matches etc. only becuase it was one more knick-knack type thing that I would have to carry around. This is a great favor! Congrats!!!!! 🙂 ( Actually where you are it’s already tomorrow so……THREE DAYS!!!!)

The flowers were received on the 17th and they are gorgeous! Thank you so much—this is going to be a special surprise for my niece and her mother and I can’t wait to see her face when first she sees them. Thank you for your part in making this special day even more spectacular.

[…] were very important to me. I don’t have pictures yet of the programs, but you remember the favor tags, right? All of the paper goods were designed to match the red and purple falling leaves invitations […]
